by Mark Keating

Mark wants to make some noise and promote companies, big and small, that use Perl. For that, he asks for your help to corral the names of all organizations that fit the bill.

by Graham Ollis (PLICEASE)

Graham would like to provide a warm, cozy new home for a handful of modules. But, of course, this can't happen without the blessing of their original owners, so he's sending an announcement flare.

by Larry Wall

Feel like celebrating Christmas in August? Then you might entertain the notion of joining this Hackaton, most probably the last one before Perl6 get officially released.

by Sebastian Riedel (SRI)

A new major release of Mojolicious is out! Massive rewrites, support for things like IPv6, SOCKS5, and non-blocking name resolution, this is clearly not your grampa web framework.

by Damian Conway (DCONWAY)

Damian is going to Norway, and he's going to be a busy, busy man. Lots of talks and presentations on his plate for the days to come.

by kmx (KMX)

A new version of Strawberry Perl is out. Amongst other goodies, this version comes with all the major DBI drivers -- MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MS SQL -- working out of the box.

Perl 5, Perl 6, hardware, there will be hackatons for them all at YAPC::NA. If you plan to join the fun, RSVP so that the organizers know what to expect.

by Sawyer X (XSAWYERX)

A new version of Dancer 2 is out! Documentation updates, lots of bug fixes, a brand new support for asynchronousity (err.. asynchronousness?) and streaming.

by David Farrell (DFARRELL)

Some tools help and some tools are next to indispensable. Perldoc squarely falls in the second category. David offers us here a quick review of its main use cases.

You know the usual question. "Is Perl dead? Dying? Looking pale? Perhaps pining for the fjords?" TechWorld went out and interviewed some of the members of the community in this latest attempt to answer the eternal question.

by Mark Fowler (MARKF)

If a role is defining a private method that it is not using itself, Perl::Critic is wont to spuriously tut-tut at you. Or was, as Mark decided that enough was enough, and crafted a patch that takes care of that.

While working on the creation of a DBIx-based test database, James realized that not everything is perfectly documented. He's jolting down the missing pieces of the puzzle here for the benefit of his future self (and us, natch).

by Yanick Champoux (YANICK)

The new release of 'got' introduced the subcommand 'got lib'. What does it do? Yanick reveals all.

by Arthur Axel "fREW" Schmidt (FREW)

fREW plays with a new Proof::ConfigLoader, which aims at being light on the syntax overhead while allowing overriding via environment variables.

by Damien Krotkine (DAMS)

For most of us, just getting the web page is good enough. But for, say, Booking.com, there's also a need for speed. Damien shares with us how they tweak and interact with socket timeouts as one way to quench this thirst of velocity.

by Kivanc Yazan (KYZN)

Kivan was recently involved in a charity party where voting for things like dance and songs was done via Twitter. Brilliant idea. And he came up with a script to take the humdrum off tallying the results too.
